contents The use of alternative operations in differential cryptanalysis, or alternative notions of differentials, are lately receiving increasing attention. Recently, Civino et al. managed to design a block cipher which is secure w.r.t. classical differential cryptanalysis performed using XOR-differentials, but weaker with respect to the attack based on an alternative difference operation acting on the first s-box of the block. We extend this result to parallel alternative operations, i.e. acting on each s-box of the block. First, we recall the mathematical framework needed to define and use such operations. After that, we perform some differential experiments against a toy cipher and compare the effectiveness of the attack w.r.t. the one that uses XOR-differentials.
